Following Japanese natural zakka style concept, my tulips pouch pattern is available in my Etsy now. This pattern is very suitable for beginner
and all levels. Just follow the photos
and instructions provided in my pattern, take it slowly to understand the
concept of bag making, you will be surprised to see you can actually make this
beautiful pouch, and it’s really unique gifts to your love ones (also for your kids).

I
will also sell my handmade bags and
patterns, everything I made is one of a kind, made with passion and love too ^v^.

Please feel free to drop by and see other available
patterns in my Etsy shop.

For
me, I love nostalgic and natural style for my tulips pouch, you can choose your
choice of fabrics to make this pouch, the characteristic will be very
different. So why don’t you take the
challenge now ?

Easy and
light to carry along for leisure outings, this is why I love to use this my
pouch so much.

If you are interested to purchase this pattern, please feel free to email me at

I have been finding solution for the handle of this
project. Am thinking a way to present it
and can use in multiple way, besides that, the size and design of this handle
have to be cute !

Searching through my fabric cabinets for the Japanese sakizome (taupe) right fabric pattern and color, finally this one helps ! phew !!

Next is the shape of the handle.To be frank, when designing a new bag pattern, one needs to put in lots of time from designing to completing a beautiful bag.It is a big challenge, imagine you need to start from scratch, from a piece of paper, to making the pattern and to making the bag. No wonder designers are paid pretty good price for their works.

Of course for
me over here, the most important thing is, you get something really unique and
you don’t see a lot of people carrying almost the same bag as yours. That makes you so proud, agree ?

Finally, I managed to pull myself back to the working mood again, my heart was
still with Paris last week.

Ok, I finally appliqué
the other side of my new project. It’s a cozy house with
heartwarming trees. I am not going to appliqué the front road or the
field this time, I think I want to embroider a little details
here. Am still trying to think hard for the embroidery details I
want to present the field. Will see !

20/11/2014, Shopping day !!!

I just want to stop from work, if not, i am afraid I may become anti-social lady soon, i am just too addicted to working. My husband encouraged me to go shopping to relax myself, yeah, I guess he reminded me that I haven't been doing any shopping for so long. So am sneaking out for some shopping.

I love Kinokuniya bookstore, sometimes I can just stand there and reading the books for many hours. There are just too many books to read ! Am adding up these 3 books for my library collection. I think I have more books than clothes compared to other ladies. Is it normal ??

21/11/2014, Done with my quilting !

Finally, all the quilting details are added to my project. Hmmm... it's just so romantic ! Time to bind them together

To me, Paris is a city of color and art with
locals loving their nostalgic surroundings. The old vintage homes were re-used
and re-design to such beautiful and romantic taste, the design concepts are
still widely used in the modern world. It is also a city of love, it is so
romantic during day and night.

When you first come
to Paris, shopping shouldn't be your priority here because you will never know
it better. Go to the flea market, talk to the people and walk around the entire
Paris as much as you can, you will surely get to know this city better.

Parisiansare friendly and
polite. Chat with them with polite tone, greet a little 'boujour' to the
passersby, they will greet you warmly too. A 'merci beaucoup' to show your
appreciation of their help. You will surely get very positive respond from
them.

Foods and patisserie desserts are really delicate
made and delicious. We just love to try
as many things as possible. Temptations
seemed to every where in Paris.

We took many photos during this trip to Paris,
here are some of them, at that moment.
^v^

Overall, our first experience was really great and happy. We hope to visit Paris again, of course !
